The implications of widespread sexual data leakage and tracking on porn websites

One evening, ‘Jack’ decides to view porn on his laptop. He enables ‘incognito’ mode in his browser, assuming his actions are now private. He pulls up a site and scrolls past a small link to a privacy policy. Assuming a site with a privacy policy will protect his personal information, Jack clicks on a video. What Jack does not know is that incognito mode only ensures his browsing history is not stored on his computer. The sites he visits, as well as any third-party trackers, may observe and record his online actions. These third-parties may even infer Jack’s sexual interests from the URLs of the sites he accesses. They might also use what they have decided about these interests for marketing or building a consumer profile. They may even sell the data. Jack has no idea these third-party data transfers are occurring as he browses videos…

This paper explores tracking and privacy risks on pornography websites. Our analysis of 22,484 pornography websites indicated that 93% leak user data to a third party.

Edge apparently sends the full URL of pages you visit (minus a few popular sites) to Microsoft. And, in contrast to documentation, includes your very non-anonymous account ID (SID).

Bulgaria just accidentally became the first bitcoin state.

I’ve said it before… a country must buy some crypto. My crypto of choice is maidsafe.
But how do you help a country build their reserves.

It is important to note that the government denies having these bitcoins so … somebody has a lot or sold them and caused the market crash last year :wink:

Tried to join we chat for experimental reasons tonight.

Access denied.

Edit: anyone want to give a mild dissident access? I may get you banned in China though.

What’s your experiment? I’d recommend you do this on a blank device as WeChat will immediately hoover up your contacts without a by-your-leave.
